Most developers know their direct dependencies but are blind to the hundreds or thousands of transitive ones lurking beneath. An AWS OSPO engineer walks through dependency auditing across six package ecosystems — Python, JavaScript, Java, Go, Rust, and Docker — demonstrating that no single tool covers every ecosystem. Key risks include dynamic dependency trees that shift based on build timing and OS, hidden transitive license conflicts, and SBOMs that go stale quickly. The recommended approach is to use ecosystem-specific tooling for each language in your stack, review attribution notices manually, and treat SBOMs as point-in-time snapshots rather than permanent records.
